Coyly answering the presenter, 48, about his thoughts on how the show ends, the actor, who plays Jon Snow in the series, added: 'Maybe not happy, but very satisfied.

'I’m so excited for people to see it, I think it’s going to be extraordinary, hopefully it’ll change TV again like it did originally, and break boundaries, I think it might.'

On Monday, HBO released a chilling teaser trailer for the show that teased the Stark's battle for Winterfell, as it focused on Jon, Sansa (Sophie Turner) and Arya Stark (Maisie Williams) as they convened in the crypts below their ancestral home.

The trio discover three eerie statues of themselves, hinting at their potential deaths as an ice-cold wind, representing the ominous White Walkers, creeps up on them, and grabs their attention.

Jon's statue shows the King In The North as a much older man, and the prop was clearly special for the actor as he revealed he took it home with him.

Kit explained: 'I kept that statue. You know, the one in the crypt. They sent it to my house, I’ve got it in my shed, how sad is that!

'I was the only one who kept my statue, that’s how narcissistic I am, I’m going to turn it into a water feature.'

During the seventh season's finale, it was finally announced that Jon is not the illegitimate son of Ned Stark, but the son his sister Lyanna shared with Daenerys Targaryen's brother Prince Rhaegar.
